Garry, I just couldn't let that go by without some goodhearted challenges.
When was the last time the Conservatives were in power? Your Liberals have been at the helm for the past 13 years. Please tell me what good they have done outside of Quebec. While you are at it, fill me in on how Turdeau's wonderful vision of Canada is working out. Break out your little Red Book of Liberal promises and tell me how their repeal of the GST went.
I guess paying the same amount for half the number of (less capable) choppers Mulroney ordered is good government in some people's minds, but not to those who can do math and pay taxes. Don't get me started on Chretin's ego...
Other than providing us with lots of oxymorons (i.e. Liberal Integrity etc...), the Liberals have villified our armed forces, put relations with the US on thin ice, and have neglected the Arctic.
It amuses me to no end how liberals hold their rivals to higher standards than they do their own party. The NEW Conservatives are about to inherit the shredded dignity of Parliament from the Liberals on the 6th of February, and the howling has started already. Funny, I didn't hear too much moaning from liberals when Mr Martin wanted his total gun ban, wanted to put all power in the hands of the Supreme Court instead of elected officials, squandered billions (HRDC Fire Arms BS, ADSCAM, Canoe Museums, Armouries, shady deals, the list goes on and on and on...). Someone mentions icebreakers and the howling starts...
As was mentioned, give them a chance, and if they f**k up again, we'll turf their arses out in due course.
Come on down to Ottawa. I'll set up a few cold ones and tell you what I really think of the Liberals!
